Train with us to become a certified ATTMA Tester!

The Air Tightness Testing & Measurement Association (ATTMA) is a professional association dedicated to promoting technical excellence and commercial effectiveness in all air tightness testing applications.

ATTMA operates a registered testers scheme providing 3rd party accreditation to testing companies, ensuring that all companies operate to the high standards.

All members of ATTMA are independently audited and certified, with a scope covering air tightness testing to the ATTMA Technical Standards (TSL1 &/or TSL2) and BS EN:13829 (2001), demonstrating knowledge and understanding, which enables them to test both commercial and domestic developments in accordance with relevant building regulations.

We are official ATTMA trainers and conduct certified courses every month. Contact us to schedule the training and to become a member of ATTMA!
